When I click "upload music" and select a folder, it displays an animated uploading icon and says "added 0 of 24 tracks." But then I leave and come back an hour later and the tracks still haven't uploaded! What do I do?

My future sister in law lives in the Baltimore/DC area, so I have a feeling I'm going to be traveling there fairly often. What are your recommendations for microbreweries to tour/visit/drink their beer? I bought some DuClaw beer last time I went and I liked it, and obviously, Dogfish Head is a big one, but any other suggestions?

I have a splinter near my cuticle and it's almost popping out. Should I break the skin and dig it out to stop the pain, or deal with the pain for a few more days until it finally crawls out?

I'd just pull it out.

Other than in the idiom, have you ever actually heard someone say "to-mah-to"?

Dan Szymborski

I have, because I know people from England

If Hilary wins the presidency and all along it was just a ruse for her to get back at Bill by having sex in the Oval Office......and she chose you as her version of Monica Lewinski...would you do it?

That's kind of a weird question, but while I would admire the deviousness and high-concept of the plan, I'm not into power.
